Asleep on a plane： a case for window seats

I love to sleep on planes， and I have an unusual ability to sleep well on them． There have even been one or two occasions （1）　 　 I have fallen asleep before takeoff and awakened upon the impact of landing， not having realized we had even left the ground． So when （2）　 　 （book） my flights， I always choose the window seat whenever possible． This allows me to lean my sleepy head against the wall of the plane for a bit （3）　 　 （much） comfort．

Some （4）　 　argue that the aisle （走廊） seat is superior for the leg space and the ability to get

off swiftly and eye the snack cart． But in reality， we're all getting our drinks and snacks （5）　 　seconds． Also， I find that if a person knows he's in a window seat， he'll choose to use the bathroom before boarding so that he （6）　 　 （not need） to disturb his neighbor， which is just considerate． And he'll seize the opportunity to get up when another seatmate gets up so that the seatmate needn't （7）　 　 （bother） more than once．

As a photographer and visually oriented person， the window seat gives me the best views of cottony clouds， or a great sunset， or golden sunrise， etc． Most of all， （8）　 　 I've been flying for years， I still get pleasure of seeing my departing city or country （9）　 　 （shrink） into the distance， and the butterflies in my stomach when I see the horizon of my destination come into view． And those feelings of adventure and excitement are （10）　 　 keep me coming back， flight after flight， to my window seat．

Section BDirections： Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

15．（10分）

Beyond Mobile Money： The Future of Asia's FinTech

Mobile money has been the hottest part in financial technology for the last few years． But FinTech is more than just how people store money and transact（交易）﹣ the space is much more horizontal， shortcutting how we create， share， and protect value．

The latest product of FinTech companies to （1）　 　 in Asia Pacific illustrates the many ways the space can help consumers beyond just their mobile wallet． It is important for all businesspersons to be aware of these trends， as their success opens up all sorts of possibilities for companies to （2）　 　 with them． And， on a much deeper level， new FinTechs may （3）　 　 consumer expectations in even other tech industries．

The Smartphone Emerges as a Credit﹣Scoring Standard

With close to half a billion （4）　 　 consumers in Southeast Asia alone， there is an entire industry of FinTechs devoted to finding ways to accurately determine their credit﹣worthiness to give them （5）　 　 to finance． Unfortunately， since they don't have bank accounts， such FinTechs cannot rely on （6）　 　 financial information or credit card payments．

One credit scoring source emerging as a new standard in the field is smartphone﹣based credit scoring． It has （7）　 　 broad global support， including from the likes of the World Bank． In one of its reports， the Asian Development Bank even stated that mobile data was a key to financial （8）　 　 ， as it could improve customer recording， and， in turn， get an access to credit．

AI Combines with the Wisdom of the Crowd

The most common slogan in today's tech headlines is the "artificial intelligence"． Readers are fascinated with how AI has the （9）　 　 to transform every consumer and enterprise （企业） industry． While such focus is appropriate that AI will （10）　 　 change the world， it leaves out a crucial element that will go hand﹣in﹣hand with its rise： the wisdom of the crowd．

III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections： For each blank in the following passag， there are four words or phrases marked A， B， C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

16．（15分）Endangered languages can be found throughout the world． Many languages now have fewer than 100 or even fewer than 10 speakers． The crisis is not limited to remote regions of the world． When Europeans first arrived in North America，312 different languages were （1）　 　， of which 123 are now known to be extinct． Of the （2）　 　languages， most speakers are grandparents and great﹣grandparents．

Different researchers offer different definitions of "endangered"． The system of （3）　 　used by the Catalogue of Endangered Languages evaluates languages in four areas： the （4）　 　of all the speakers， how often the language is conveyed to the next （5）　 　， the rate at which it is losing speakers and the（6）　 　in which it is used． Based on this data， languages are ranked on a six﹣point scale from "safe" to "severely endangered．" The midpoint， "endangered" refers to a language with between 100 and 1，000 speakers who represent about half of the language's community or ethnic group．The language is spoken only by some parents， of whom very few teach it to their children． It is （7）　 　used at home and is not taught in schools or used for government business．

Languages become endangered due to a number of （8）　 　factors including globalization， economics， technology， education policy， and changes in （9）　 　attitudes． As the forces of globalization make the world more interconnected， previously （10）　 　language communities come under pressure to participate in a larger economy， which means learning the area's majority language． （11）　 　，local schools often begin to teach the majority language instead of the local tongue．Local languages also （12）　 　as communities adopt mobile phones and computers， most of which run on software that has been translated into only a handful of languages． This trend （13）　 　as these devices connect users to the Internet． At this point， many communities undergo a cultural （14）　 　in which parents no longer value the language enough to teach it to their children．

Initiatives to （15）　 　endangered languages have become more numerous in recent years． These efforts tend to focus on two main areas： the documentation of endangered languages， and efforts to increase the use of endangered languages among younger speakers and in the community at large．

Section BDirections： Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A， B， C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.

17．（8分）Many of China's ancient architectural treasures smashed to dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s． The husband and wife team were among the first preservationists to operate in China， and by far the best known． Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush toward development．

Becoming China's best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment． The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old， located in distant parts of the country． In many cases， they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them． Exploring China's remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy， poorly maintained roads by mule（骡子）or on foot． Inns were often dirty， food could be polluted， and there was always risk of violence from rebels， soldiers and robbers．

Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha's Light， in Wutai County， Shanxi Province． The

breathtaking wooden temple was built in 857 A．D．， making it the oldest building known in China at the time．

Liang and Lin crawled into the temple's most forbidding， forgotten areas to determine its age， including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs， covered in dust and littered with dead bats． "In complete darkness and among the awful smell， hardly breathing， with thick masks covering our noses and mouths， we measured， drew， and photographed with flashlights for several hours． When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air， we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag． We ourselves had been badly bitten． Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture．" Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in "Liang and Lin： Partners in Exploring China's Architectural Past．"

（1）On their way to the ancient buildings in 1930s， Liang and Lin faced following risks EXCEPT　 　．

A． accommodations

B． personal security

C． road conditions

D． vehicles

（2）Liang and Lin raised public awareness of　 　．

A． documenting smashed historical buildings

B． rebuilding historically valuable buildings

C． saving the oldest temples in China

D． protecting historical buildings

（3）While exploring the Temple of Buddha's Light，　 　．

A． Liang and Lin caught insects with awful smell

B． Liang and Lin were forbidden to breathe inside

C． Liang and Lin were pleased at something unhoped for

D． Liang and Lin determined its age by studying bedbugs' hideaway

（4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage？　 　

A． Creativeness results in discovery

B． Difficulty produces achievement

C． Efforts contribute to happiness

D． Responsibilities make development

19．（8分）①Risk is something we face daily． However， some people are obviously more willing to take risks than others．

②Biologists appear to have discovered a physical reason that explains why some people are risk﹣takers．Dopamine is a neurotransmitter， a chemical that spreads signals between nerve cells． It is linked to the brains reward system and is the chemical that makes us feel good， and scientists believe it to be linked to risk﹣taking． Our nerve cells have dopamine receptors（接收器） which control the amount of dopamine that each cell receives． But not all receptors may be active． When a person has few active receptors to control the amount of dopamine that is received， a cell can become flooded resulting in an extreme feeling of happiness．

③Researchers at Vanderbilt University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine asked 34 men and women to complete a questionnaire about their risk taking to assess whether they seek new opportunities or are cautious in life． The results of the research were consistent with similar studies carried out with rats， and had the same outcome． It concluded that people who are risk﹣takers have fewer dopamine receptors than people who are not． This suggests that the rush of pleasure a risk taker receives when a cell becomes flooded with dopamine can become addictive for some people． They therefore pursue new and exciting activities in order to try to repeat this feeling， and as a result their concern for risk becomes considerably reduced．

④Dopamine gives us a biological reason for risk﹣taking， but scientists believe there may be psychological reasons too． Sensation﹣seeking is a personality characteristic that describes the desire to find activities that bring us pleasure． In 1964， psychologist Marvin Zuckerman created the sensation﹣seeking scale． His 40﹣item questionnaire， still used today， was given to people who were active in seeking new activities， and to people who were more satisfied with a quiet life． While risk﹣taking is not a characteristic in itself， it is very much associated with sensation﹣seeking， as a high sensation﹣seeker does not evaluate risk in the same way that a low sensation﹣seeker does． A desire to achieve pleasure means that there is a greater willingness to take more risks．

⑤There are both biological and psychological explanations as to why some people may choose to take

more risks than others． However， none of these explanations are definitive．

（1）If a person has fewer active dopamine receptors，　 　．

A． he is less likely to feel happy

B． he is more willing to take risks

C． he will eventually become dopamine﹣addictive

D． he is poorer at controlling the amount of dopamine

（2）The underlined phrase "consistent with" is closest to "　 　" in meaning．

A． contrary to

B． in agreement with

C． at the cost of

D． persistent in

（3）What can be concluded from paragraph 4？　 　

A． The longing for pleasure may lead to risk taking．

B． A willingness to take more risks can be cultivated．

C． The sensation﹣seeking scale can help to evaluate risk．

D． High sensation﹣seekers are more common than low ones．

（4）This passage mainly talks about　 　．

A． when we learn to take risks

B． how risk﹣taking benefits us

C． what makes risk﹣takers

D． why we should take risks

Section CDirections： Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

20．（8分）

Sustainable Transport in Cities

Transport has always shaped cities． In Medieval times crossroads gave birth to blooming market towns． Many North American cities were created for the car． But how are the cities of today being shaped by a need for more sustainable transport？

Many local governments are speeding up change through policy initiatives such as joined transport， congestion charges and low emission zones， sustainable gaining and lifecycle costing， and opening data up to companies and academics． And these city level policies can move markets in more sustainable directions．（1）　 　 This has resulted in five vehicle manufacturers committing to meeting that deadline， which is both in their own commercial interests and good for the environment．

The least dense cities， for example， Houston， have per capita（人均的） carbon emissions nearly ten times higher than the densest， such as Singapore． （2）　 　 This involves gathering mixed use developments around a key transport center， as with the KL Central area in Kuala Lumpur， built around the largest railway station in Southeast Asia．

（3）　 　 Others are using motivations and behavioural change to encourage people to choose more efficient﹣and often healthier﹣forms of transport． Copenhagen has a number of progressive cycling policies including the Green Wave， which allows people cycling at 20km/h to hit all green lights during rush hour．

Light weighting and new engine and fuel technologies are helping to make existing road and rail vehicles more efficient． （4）　 　 The main options are hydrogen fuel cells， fossil fuel hybrids， and electric vehicles， and the best solution may well vary from city to city．

IV. Summary Writing

21．（15分）Directions： Read the following passage． Summarize the main idea and the main point（s） of the passage in no more than 60 words． Use your own words as far as possible．

Online "friends" ﹣a threat to development

The impact of technology on the nature of our friendships has been a much﹣debated topic since the dramatic rise of social networks． Advances in mobile technology and social networking websites mean we spend more time online than ever before． It is therefore not surprising that so many psychologists， sociologists， and others are eager to give their thoughts on how this is impacting negatively on our society．

There is one element of social networking that is deeply worrying． We find ourselves in a hyper﹣connected world where people access social media day and night， excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives． Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character． Professor Larry D． Rosen says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become ineffective， aggressive， and display anti﹣social behavior in their offline lives． But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing﹣empathy． This is the emotion that allows us to see the world from our friends' points of view． Without it， we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships．

Professor Sherry Turkle suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone． This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours． Many admitted an addiction to their online social network； most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends． And yet being alone is a time when we self﹣reflect and get in touch with who we really are． It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others．

These potential changes in our characters are rather alarming， so it is clear that we can't neglect those

negative impacts of social networks．

V. TranslationDirections： Translate the following sentences into English， using the words given in the brackets.

22．（2.5分）这些安全措施仍将继续实施至下月初．（remain）

The most common slogan in today's tech headlines is the "artificial intelligence"． Readers are fascinated with how AI has the （9）　F　 to transform every consumer and enterprise （企业） industry． While such focus is appropriate that AI will （10）　D　 change the world， it leaves out a crucial element that will go hand﹣in﹣hand with its rise： the wisdom of the crowd．

16．（15分）Endangered languages can be found throughout the world． Many languages now have fewer than 100 or even fewer than 10 speakers． The crisis is not limited to remote regions of the world． When Europeans first arrived in North America，312 different languages were （1）　C　， of which 123 are now known to be extinct． Of the （2）　D　languages， most speakers are grandparents and great﹣grandparents．

Different researchers offer different definitions of "endangered"． The system of （3）　B　used by the Catalogue of Endangered Languages evaluates languages in four areas： the （4）　C　of all the speakers， how often the language is conveyed to the next （5）　C　， the rate at which it is losing speakers and the（6）　C　in which it is used． Based on this data， languages are ranked on a six﹣point scale from "safe" to "severely endangered．" The midpoint， "endangered" refers to a language with between 100 and 1，000 speakers who represent about half of the language's community or ethnic group．The language is spoken only by some parents， of whom very few teach it to their children． It is （7）　C　used at home and is not taught in schools or used for government business．

Languages become endangered due to a number of （8）　D　factors including globalization， economics， technology， education policy， and changes in （9）　A　attitudes． As the forces of globalization make the world more interconnected， previously （10）　C　language communities come under pressure to participate in a larger economy， which means learning the area's majority language． （11）　C　，local schools often begin to teach the majority language instead of the local tongue．Local languages also （12）　D　as communities adopt mobile phones and computers， most of which run on software that has been translated into only a handful of languages． This trend （13）　C　as these devices connect users to the Internet． At this point， many communities undergo a cultural （14）　C　in which parents no longer value the language enough to teach it to their children．

Initiatives to （15）　C　endangered languages have become more numerous in recent years． These efforts tend to focus on two main areas： the documentation of endangered languages， and efforts to increase the use of endangered languages among younger speakers and in the community at large．

Section BDirections： Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A， B， C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.

17．（8分）Many of China's ancient architectural treasures smashed to dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s． The husband and wife team were among the first preservationists to operate in China， and by far the best known． Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush toward development．

Becoming China's best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment． The buildings they wanted to save were centuries old， located in distant parts of the country． In many cases， they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them． Exploring China's remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy， poorly maintained roads by mule（骡子）or on foot． Inns were often dirty， food could be polluted， and there was always risk of violence from rebels， soldiers and robbers．

Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha's Light， in Wutai County， Shanxi Province． The

breathtaking wooden temple was built in 857 A．D．， making it the oldest building known in China at the time．

Liang and Lin crawled into the temple's most forbidding， forgotten areas to determine its age， including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs， covered in dust and littered with dead bats． "In complete darkness and among the awful smell， hardly breathing， with thick masks covering our noses and mouths， we measured， drew， and photographed with flashlights for several hours． When at last we came out to take a breath of fresh air， we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag． We ourselves had been badly bitten． Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture．" Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in "Liang and Lin： Partners in Exploring China's Architectural Past．"

（1）On their way to the ancient buildings in 1930s， Liang and Lin faced following risks EXCEPT　D　．

A． accommodations

B． personal security

C． road conditions

D． vehicles

（2）Liang and Lin raised public awareness of　D　．

A． documenting smashed historical buildings

B． rebuilding historically valuable buildings

C． saving the oldest temples in China

D． protecting historical buildings

（3）While exploring the Temple of Buddha's Light，　C　．

A． Liang and Lin caught insects with awful smell

B． Liang and Lin were forbidden to breathe inside

C． Liang and Lin were pleased at something unhoped for

D． Liang and Lin determined its age by studying bedbugs' hideaway

（4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage？　B　

A． Creativeness results in discovery

B． Difficulty produces achievement

C． Efforts contribute to happiness

D． Responsibilities make development

【分析】从1930年到1945年，梁思成林徽因夫妇二人共同走过中国的15个省，190多个县，考察测绘了2738处古建筑物，很多古建筑就是通过他们的考察得到了世界、全国的认识，从此加以保护，比如山西的应县木塔、五台山佛光寺等．他们共同开创了运用西方建筑理论研究中国古代建筑的先河，在中国建筑史上写下了浓墨重彩的一笔．

【解答】1．D．细节理解题．根据第二段Exploring China's remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy， poorly maintained roads by mule（骡子）or on foot． Inns were often dirty， food could be polluted， and there was always risk of violence from rebels， soldiers and robbers．在1930年代探索中国的偏远地区，意味着要通过骡子或步行来行驶泥泞，维护不善的道路．旅馆经常很脏，食物可能被污染，叛乱分子，士兵和强盗总是有遭受暴力侵害的危险．可知，在1930年代前往古建筑的途中，梁和林面临着以下困难：住宿；人身安全；路况．不包括交通工具．故选D．

2．D．细节理解题．根据第一段Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush toward development．自那以后，他们的努力激发了一代又一代人为受发展热潮威胁的建筑大声疾呼．可知，梁和林提高了公众对历史建筑的保护意识．故选D．

3．C．细节理解题．根据最后一段 Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture．但是我们发现的重要性和意料之外的事情使那些年成为我寻找古代建筑的最快乐时光．可知，在探索佛光寺时，梁和林对未曾期望的事情感到高兴．故选C．
